prostate cancer

Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming.

 

As some of you may know, I hurt my back last week. Everyone who leads an active lifestyle knows what it's like to pull a muscle at the gym - it can be pretty painful.

 

My back is better now, but today I want to let you know about an unrelated health matter.

This year, more than 25,000 Canadian men will be diagnosed with treatable prostate cancer and I have recently learned that I’m one of them.

 

It’s the same kind of prostate cancer that my father was diagnosed with 17 years ago.

He, like the overwhelming majority of Canadian men with prostate cancer, fought it and won.
